I forgot how to drive stick

I had the same rental recently and HATED that dial. Why reinvent the wheel? That Chrysler engineer should be fired!

 

I'm considering that for my next car. For the same reason.

 

I liked that car though. Had the hemi. Was doing about 70 and punched it, went to 100 right now. I really liked the car over all. Had the one that cuts off half the cylinders when your cruising, it got like 28 to the gallon. I was really impressed. My F350 gets 10. The Jag get about 7 lol.

 

I didn't have the Hemi. Mine had the responsiveness of a minivan.

 

That's no fun. The Jag has pretty good gitty up.

 

That explains the 7 mpg!

 

Floating gears in a car is called power shifting, at least for upshifts.
Full throttle until red line, then off the gas and back on - shifting as you get off the gas.
The shift should not take longer than half a second or so.

 

I got started on manuals completely by accident or fate. When I was 18 I bought my first car. I got the address's mixed up for a '69 Dodge Charger and '68 GTO. I wanted the Charger, but went and looked at, and drove the goat first. Drove it home, 4 speed, manuals in all almost every car since. The Jag has a turbo 400.

 

Beautiful build. Never seen a jag like that personally
